My favorite thing about the first quote is that combined with the lines above it (about a woman raped in a city) is that it says that a woman raped in the city is to be executed, whereas a woman raped in the country isn't. Cause, like, a woman raped in the city would have screamed and been saved, so clearly if the rape actually happened then she didn't scream and it was consensual. But a woman in the country could conceivably scream for help without anybody being around to help her.
Victim shaming made into an artform.
